The reserve, line by line.

Reserve composition is disclosed weekly so anyone can see exactly what backs USDC. The mix is deliberately boring: cash held at regulated banks and short-duration US Treasury bills with an average maturity well under three months, plus Treasury-backed overnight repo.

There is no crypto collateral, no commercial paper, no loans, and no exotic instruments — only the most liquid, lowest-risk dollar assets.

  • Cash in segregated accounts at major US banks
  • T-Bills with average maturity under 90 days, managed by BlackRock
  • Zero crypto, zero loans, zero risky paper
